In the past two weeks I have been involved with 3 pattern tests and am happy to say that after spending all day seam-binding the last quilt, I’m done! The quilt is still top secret at the moment (don’t I sound like the sewing spy? I’d show it to you, but then I’d have to…ummm….poke you with my sewing needle? Ok…maybe I’m not really a spy….) Anyway, although I can’t show you the quilt (yet) I can show you my latest pattern test. I was very, very lucky to be able to test the Ruby Lou doll pattern from Sew Much Ado.
First off, I have to say what an amazing pattern this is! I have never made a doll before and she made the process extremely easy. It wasn’t as hard to make a doll as I always thought it would be. I am so proud of my finished Ruby Lou!
She even has a reversible skirt!
Isn’t she cute? And…she was made entirely from my grandmother’s fabrics! 
I wonder if she knew she had all the making of a doll in her stash?
The PDF pattern for Ruby Lou is already available with a print pattern coming out soon. There are lots of other fun sewing tutorials on the Sew Much Ado blog too!
Can you believe that this is my 6th pattern test? I’m beginning to feel like a professional! 
That is so darling—I have seen many dolls lately and this is the cutest one yet (Honest!)
What a cute doll! You did a great job making it.
This is really lovely…might have to have a go at making one for my daughter.
You make me desperately long for the natural ability to sew. What a cute little doll!
OMG she’s gorgeous!
I love how you did the face too, I find that the hardest part with my crochet dolls.
Simply gorgeous Andi, you’ve outdone yourself again
Just found out yesterday that my sister-in-law is having a girl so I am going to attempt to make a Ruby Lou of my own
I am very excited about this little project 
It will be sooo cute. (I hope)
